It would be slightly nicer (easier parsing X-Report-Spam and
construction the ping-URL) to have ping-URLs similar to the normal
ones, e.g. by pre- or appending some keywords:

X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/GROUP:NUMBER

           --> http://spam.gmane.org/GROUP:NUMBER&ping
or
           --> http://spam.gmane.org/ping?group=GROUP:NUMBER

While at it...  Some time ago we discussed[1] whether it would make
sense to report more than one article in a single HTTP request.
spam-report currently sends out one request for each article, see
`spam-report-gmane' and `spam-report-url-ping-plain'.  We could
collect the reports for each group (actually we already have a list of
articles in the first place) and do a single request, say
"http://spam.gmane.org/GROUP:NUMBER,NUMBER,NUMBER,NUMBER,NUMBER".
Would that be useful from Gmane's point of view?

Bye, Reiner.
